Mountain mammal (4)

I believe the answer is:

ibex

(Other definitions for ibex that I've seen before include "Mountain goat with long curved horns" , "Wild goat of North Africa" , "Large-horned mountain goat" , "Come out of an egg" , "Mountain goat with curving horns" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
